Republican Winsome Earle-Sears presses Abigail Spanberger over fellow Democrat’s ‘abhorrent’ texts
Democrat Abigail Spanberger faced off against Virginia’s lieutenant governor, Winsome Earle-Sears, in the only public debate in that state’s governor’s race on Thursday, days after the Democratic nominee for attorney general was embroiled in a texting and misconduct controversy relating to his opponents.
Spanberger, a former congresswoman who left Washington to run for the governorship, which is currently held by a Republican, is leading by four points in a tightening race ahead of next month’s gubernatorial election.
